ISYY Representative Council Meeting 5/2024 Decisions

The Representative Council of the Student Union of the University of Eastern Finland (ISYY) held its fifth meeting of this year on Thursday 24 October.

In the meeting, the Council decided the amount of ISYY’s membership fee for the academic year 2025-2026. The Council decided to remove the surcharge of two euros of the next academic year if a student pays the membership in two separate instalments. The membership fee for 2025-2026 is the following:

• degree student’s membership fee is 73 € (2025 autumn 36 € and 2026 spring 37 €)
• postgraduate student’s membership fee is 56 € (2025 autumn 27,50 € and 2026 spring 28,50 €).

The Representative Council decided that practical travel-related decisions and guidelines fall under the authority of the Executive Board from now on. Whenever the Board decides on or updates the travel policy, their decisions must be in line with the Council’s strategic guidelines, such as the Environmental Strategy. Also, the Council chose KPMG Oy Ab/Jere Niskanen as the Student Union’s auditor for financial year 2025.

In addition to the above mentioned decisions, the Council had preliminary debates about ISYY’s 2025 action plan, 2025 budget, Environmental Strategy and 2025-2028 strategy. The Representative Council also had first discussions about changing a few of ISYY’s rules and the election regulations.

The meeting minutes have been published in Finnish in the Documents section on ISYY’s website. You can also watch the meeting’s stream on ISYY’s YouTube channel. The next meeting of the ISYY Council is held on 26 November 2024.
